Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3: The Conclusion is closing in on another major box-office milestone. The suspense thriller has crossed ₹515 crore worldwide in just 14 days, comfortably overtaking Hanuman Ansh globally. However, the competition remains much closer at the Indian box office, where the devotional drama continues to maintain a narrow lead.
According to Sacnilk’s completed figures through October 15, Drishyam 3 has collected ₹333 crore net in India, compared with Hanuman Ansh’s ₹338.98 crore.
That leaves Ajay Devgn’s film just ₹5.98 crore behind domestically, raising an interesting question: can Vijay Salgaonkar’s final chapter overtake one of 2026’s most unexpected box-office successes?
Drishyam 3 Worldwide Box Office Collection After 14 Days
Directed by Abhishek Pathak, Drishyam 3: The Conclusion opened on October 2 with an impressive ₹62 crore India net collection.
The film maintained strong momentum throughout its opening week, earning ₹245.50 crore domestically. Its second week contributed another ₹87.50 crore, taking the total to ₹333 crore.
On its 14th day, the thriller collected ₹4.25 crore in India, reflecting a 19% decline from the previous day’s ₹5.25 crore.
Its worldwide performance has been equally significant. Overseas markets have contributed ₹116 crore, helping the film reach ₹515.05 crore globally.
Drishyam 3 vs Hanuman Ansh: Box Office Comparison
Drishyam 3 vs Hanuman Ansh: Box Office Comparison
| Box Office Metric | Drishyam 3 | Hanuman Ansh |
|---|---|---|
| Days completed | 14 | 70 |
| India net | ₹333.00 Cr | ₹338.98 Cr |
| India gross | ₹399.05 Cr | ₹400.03 Cr |
| Overseas gross | ₹116.00 Cr | ₹48.30 Cr |
| Worldwide gross | ₹515.05 Cr | ₹448.33 Cr |
Figures are trade estimates through October 15, 2026, and may be revised.
The comparison reveals two very different success stories.
While Drishyam 3 has generated substantial earnings within two weeks, Hanuman Ansh has maintained an extraordinary theatrical run lasting ten weeks.
The latter, based on the life and spiritual journey of Neem Karoli Baba, began with modest collections before developing into a sleeper blockbuster.
Its sustained performance demonstrates how consistent audience interest can sometimes prove more valuable than an enormous opening weekend.
Will Drishyam 3 Surpass Hanuman Ansh in India?
Yes, overtaking Hanuman Ansh looks achievable, although it is not guaranteed.
With a domestic net difference of just ₹5.98 crore, Drishyam 3 needs relatively modest additional earnings to close the gap. However, Hanuman Ansh is still collecting money, including ₹65 lakh on October 15.
That means Drishyam 3 must earn enough to overcome both the existing difference and its competitor’s continuing collections.
The third weekend, October 16–18, could prove decisive.
The suspense thriller has already demonstrated its ability to attract substantial weekend audiences, but new releases, including Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2, are competing for screens and attention.
If Drishyam 3 maintains a reasonable share of its existing audience, it could move ahead in the coming days.
However, its weekday collections have declined considerably from the first week, making another strong weekend particularly important.
Drishyam 3 Has Already Won the Worldwide Race
There is one record the Ajay Devgn film no longer needs to chase.
At ₹515.05 crore worldwide, Drishyam 3 is already ₹66.72 crore ahead of Hanuman Ansh’s ₹448.33 crore global collection.
That advantage comes primarily from overseas markets, where the thriller has earned more than twice its competitor’s international total.
The remaining contest is therefore about domestic earnings rather than worldwide supremacy.
For Drishyam 3, surpassing Hanuman Ansh would add another achievement to an already commercially successful theatrical run.
For Hanuman Ansh, holding its position after 70 days would underline the remarkable longevity of a film that succeeded without the conventional opening-weekend advantages of a major Bollywood franchise.
With both films still collecting, the coming weekend should provide a clearer answer to which one finishes ahead in India.
